Bush's relation to the Third Reicht
As a thespian, there are some experiences you have in the threatre, whether viewing, or are involved in, that effect you. Seeing Les Miserables and Rent for the first time, and becoming enveloped while working on The Fifth Sun are those experiences for me. You never forget them; their effect is so profound on you as a person and as an artist that you take something away with you. More than moving, these things help shape who you are, at least the good ones do. Friday night, I saw a run of Hair, and to say that I was blown away would be an understatement. I was expecting something spectacular, and I got so much more. Even though I saw an incomplete run (sans costumes and most props), I was floored - I was privy to something so beautiful, so honest, that I started to cry from the opening number, and by thenend of the second act I was bawling, even though I knew what was coming. I'm deeply saddened that I don't get to actually see the show (I'll be doing costume tech. backstage), but I know those who do get to see it will be amazed.
Moving on from the ever-so-corny, to the ridiculously absurd. Devin and Sean supplied me with much amusement Friday in stage craft. Just a sample:
Devin: "Christmas is a nazi holiday. Everything's white. And red. Like blood. Yeah, and green, which symbolizes money, which equals POWER!....Which means nazis."
Sean: "Which means BUSH."
So by association, Bush means either Christmas, or Nazis......
